"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard. This summarizes my counselling philosophy and why everyone should consider therapy for self-discovery. I am here to support that fantastic journey of yours.
About me and my practice
Leslie had a successful business career in the last 30 years, having studied at Columbia University for her BS and MBA, lived and worked in the US, Taiwan, China, Switzerland and now Singapore. She was last a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for a PE-backed SG-based multinational company, and Asia and China regional CFO for some largest Fortune 500 healthcare companies. She had directly managed organizations of over 1000 people and mentored hundreds as a senior corporate executive.
Since 2020, she started the private therapy and coaching practice based in Singapore, the perfect 'East meets West' city state. After receiving a Master of Arts degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton in London, UK, she now embarks on a second career as an Integrative Psychotherapist and Life / Executive Coach.
Experience
Her therapeutic approach centers on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) -- drawing from Psychodynamic theory for past insights, integrating Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for present coping, and utilizing Life Coaching Tools like the "Wheel of Life" for future planning.
